Under Trump, climate change not a national security threat
By JILL COLVIN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Presi-
dent Donald Trump removed
climate change from the list of
worldwide threats menacing
the United States on Monday,
a shift that underscores the
long-term ramifications of
the “America first” world
view he laid out in his new
National Security Strategy.
The document depicts
Russia and China as
combative rivals in perpetual
competition with the U.S.
But it makes no mention of
what scientists say are the
dangers posed by a warming
climate, including more
extreme weather events that
could spark humanitarian
crises, mass migrations, and
conflict.
It’s a significant departure
from the Obama administra-
tion, which had described
climate change as an “urgent
and growing threat to our
national security.” And it
demonstrates how Trump,
despite struggling to push
his own agenda through
a
Republican-controlled
Congress, has been able to
unilaterally dismantle one of
his predecessor’s signature
efforts.
As far back as 2003, during
George W. Bush’s presidency,
a report commissioned by
the Defense Department
said abrupt climate change
threatened “disruption and
conflict,” refugee crises,
border tensions and more

President Donald Trump speaks on national security
Monday, in Washington. Trump says his new national
security strategy puts “America First.”
military conflicts.
Trump’s national security
report, required annually by
Congress, emphasizes that
economic security is national
security for the U.S. It makes
clear the United States will
unilaterally defend its sover-
eignty, even if that means
risking existing agreements
with other countries.
The
new
document
doesn’t eliminate references
to the environment entirely.
It “recognizes the importance
of environmental steward-
ship” and says that “climate
policies will continue to
shape the global energy
system.”
“The United States will
remain a global leader in
reducing traditional pollu-
tion, as well as greenhouse
gases, while expanding our
economy,” it reads.
But Trump, in a speech
about the report, blamed past
administrations for putting
“American energy under
lock and key” and said his
approach “embraces a future
of American energy domi-
nance and self-sufficiency.”
“Our nation must take
advantage of our wealth
in domestic resources and
energy efficiency to promote
competitiveness across our
industries,” he said.
That thinking represents
a reversal, not just from
previous
Democratic
administrations, but from
Republican as well, said
Geoffrey Dabelko, director
of environmental studies at
Ohio University.
“Proscribing more fossil
fuels rather than seeing that
as a fundamental source of
vulnerability that undercuts
resilience ... that is definitely
a departure, in some ways
turning the argument on its
head,” he said.
The last national strategy
document, prepared by
President Barack Obama
in 2015, identified climate
change as a national security
risk alongside threats like the
proliferation of weapons of
mass destruction and cata-
strophic attacks on the U.S.
homeland.
Climate change, that
document warned, was
contributing to “increased
natural disasters, refugee
flows and conflicts over
basic resources like food
and water” and was already
being felt “from the Arctic
to the Midwest,” with rising
sea levels and storm surges
threatening coastal regions,
infrastructure and property.
Jamil N. Jaffer, founder
of the National Security
Institute at George Mason
University’s law school, sees
the broader new strategy as a
shift “that reasserts America’s
role in the world as a nation
willing to assert its power and
influence in its own interest,
and as a nation ready and
willing to engage in compe-
tition — and win — in areas
ranging from economics to
diplomacy.”
But Rosina Bierbaum, a
University of Michigan envi-
ronmental policy scientist,
said, “Not including climate
change in a document about
security threats is putting our
head in the sand.”
